In order to protect the system components from exceeding threshold limits, the system is designed to limit the engine speed and/or disengage the clutch, which allows the machine to be driven onto a trailer or returned to a service area.
There are the following errors:
Clutch Overcurrent
If an overcurrent event occurs, the system limits the engine speed to the Efficient Transport Mode speed and places the machine in Safe Transport Mode. Safe Transport Mode limits the engine speed, locks out the PTO, and disengages the clutch; a Clutch Overcurrent error message will display. Cycling the key switch to the OFF and then to the ON position clears the fault.
System Overvoltage>16VDC
If the voltage exceeds 16 V, the system will disengage the clutch and displays a System Overvoltage>16VDC error message.
System Undervoltage<9VDC
If the voltage is less than 9 V, the system will not allow clutch engagement and display the error System Undervoltage<9VDC. If the clutch was engaged before the error occurred, the system allows the clutch to remain engaged; however, low voltage may cause the clutch to disengage itself.
Low Oil Pressure
If low engine-oil pressure is detected, the system limits engine speed to the Efficient Transport Mode speed and places the machine in Safe Transport Mode. Safe Transport Mode limits the engine speed, locks out the PTO, and disengages the clutch; a Low Oil Pressure message will display. Cycling the key switch to the OFF and then to the ON position clears the fault.
Engine Over Temperature
When the engine begins to overheat, the system flashes the engine temperature bar graph and chirps the audible alarm. If the temperature rises above the upper limit, the system limits the engine speed to the Efficient Transport Mode speed and places the machine in Safe Transport Mode. Safe Transport Mode limits the engine speed, locks out the PTO, and disengages the clutch; an Engine Over Temperature message displays. The fault clears once the temperature falls below a safe limit.
